Facility site plan
The facility site plan shows the layout and improved features of the new Bow Lake Transfer and Recycling Station. |
The Solid Waste Division has developed a site plan that shows the layout and improved features of the new Bow Lake Transfer and Recycling Station.
Planned improvements include:
- An expanded recycling collection area where customers can bring materials for recycling and composting, including a separate yard waste area
- A larger transfer building that will have easier-to-use waste unloading areas, which will reduce customer wait times
- An enclosed transfer building that will protect customers and workers from weather conditions, as well as contain noise, dust and odors.
- A new site layout that will improve on-site traffic flow and add more on-site vehicle queuing space
- Two pre-load compactors to improve operational efficiency and decrease the number of transfer trailer truck trips required to and from the station
- Sustainable building design features that will improve energy efficiency and result in lower life cycle costs than conventional building design
- Environmental enhancements to the stormwater and wastewater systems
